I've played with tech like this for over a year now. You won't find the bowl in the source images. It doesn't evolve the noise into a source image. It slowly nudges the noise into feeling more and more bowl-like. Do that enough, and you get something that feels quite a bit like a bowl. Put it this way: The model file is absurdly smaller than the half billion source images files. If it actually contained the source images, it would be the greatest feat of image compression ever. Instead it only contains the impression left over by the images. A lot closer to a memory than a jpg.
